LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 57: [54]
For months Izzy and I have played a cat and mouse game, as I learn from Magnus and grow closer to Clary…even getting invited into her home…which is unnecessary in this universe but…it showed how much she trusted me to let me into her sanctuary.
Sitting at the bar in one of Magnus's many nightclubs, I smell Izzy enter…and even though I could have easily left without her ever knowing I was there I wait for her to reach me.
"You're an asshole!" Izzy shouts at me while grabbing my shoulder and spinning me to face her, a fire burning in her beautiful brown eyes.
At that moment I find all my former hang ups gone, and I stand up using my speed, cupping both the back of Izzy's head and her lower back and pull her into a kiss.
"Wha?!" Izzy gasps against my lips before melting against me and returning the kiss passionately.
Breaking the kiss staring into Izzy's eyes I knew with 100% certainty that I was ready to leave the past behind me…so concentrated on Izzy's face I didn't register her hand smacking my face hard enough to turn it to the side until I couldn't look at her directly.
"Ugh!" Izzy cries out angrily as she has a fit and spins on her heels marching out of the club.
"What…?" I find myself asking dumbly as a bunch of people stare between me and Izzy's retreating back, I notice her arms come up to her face.
'Probably wiping away tears…' I theories…as I go after her.
"Izzy, wait!" I call out to her as she activates a rune and I know that we're now moving at speeds only a fast supernatural could keep up with.
I catch Izzy by her arm making her spin to face me, her eyes red and puffy, "Let me go!' Izzy softly protests as she punches me in the gut.
"No…I've pushed you away too much already." I quickly deny her order while pulling her against me.
"Stop, please stop…" Izzy practically begs as she pushes against my chest.
"No…I've lost too much precious time with you already…from letting my past interfere with my future."
"How can you say that after telling me you're dying!" Izzy shouts out offended, "You come into my life and flip it upside down…not once but twice! I can't, I can't love you and lose you!" Izzy whispers at the end and I realize she's had it just as bad for me as I've had it for her.
"I'm working on a solution…I'm close to solving my situation Izzy…I swear to you…" I try to reassure her, which makes her hands fist in my shirt as a powerful sob tears through her.
"Don't, please don't promise me that you can solve it…I know you want to die!" Izzy murmurs against my chest.
"No…not anymore…I want to live a full life with you Isabelle…" I murmur right back to her as I cup her chin and tilt her head to look up at me.
Izzy and I don't say anything else. We just look into each other's eyes searchingly before being drawn into a long slow tongue filled kiss, as we hold each other on some rooftop in Manhattan
"I want to help." Izzy says to me as we finally end our kiss.
"You already have…but right now all there is to do is wait…my plan involves Clary…and something…in her mother's possession." I speak gently and wait for a kick to the groin but it doesn't come.
"You're not going to break her heart are you?...I know you don't have much experience with monogamy…and I'm okay with you being involved with others…like Freya and…Clary…I realized a bit after you told me that you were dying that I'd rather have you in my life along with them then to make them live a life without you…don't get me wrong I'm still going to have my days where I want you all to myself or get into fights with them over the stupidest things…but it's also really hot watching you fuck…Clary." Izzy seems to ramble out a confession…?
So I don't know I've been trying to get back into writing...but this feels like an entirely different person wrote it, am I right ??? Or is it decent?
